BSD 4-clause is GPL-incomatible #30

Description

@voxpelli

Spurred by prusa3d/libbgcode#24 I wanted to open an issue here and notify you that the change from AGPL to BSD 4-clause unfortunately introduced an incompatibility with GPL-code, as outlined by the FSF here: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OriginalBSD

FSF themselves recommends using eg. Apache 2.0 instead or the MIT / X11 / Expat license.

On top of that there's nowadays the Blue Oak License that aims to bring the best of the best from all of them (the result of a work of evaluating most permissive licenses and ranking them)
